Dear God. . .My father was a policeman who was killed. Thank you for giving me such a good father!
Oh Gustavo, you are a remarkable young man. I am so sorry for your loss. But as a dad myself, I know your father was so proud of you, just as your heavenly Father is right now. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Every day — around the world — children are called upon to bear heavy burdens. The loss of a parent or a home can be devastating. Is there a child in your life who needs an extra "grandma or grandpa?" Someone who thinks they're pretty special and wants to spend time with them? Maybe it's a football game, or some activity at the mall, a school concert or a swim meet. The opportunities are there! Are you? This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to a child in your world.
